CESSPOOL.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, RAY SIMMONS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Utica, in the county of Licking, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cesspools; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a cesspool.

An object of the invention resides in the provision of a cesspool which may be easily and quickly constructed.

A further object of the invention resides, primarily, in the provision of a cement cesspool which is so constructed that there will be no leakages even when the device is in use and before the cement has completely set.

lVith these and other objects in view, such as will appear as my description progresses, my invention comprises the combination and arrangement of parts as set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is an elevational view of a device constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view therethrough; Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail of the drain connection.

The embodiment of the invention disclosed in the drawing includes' a vault A which is covered by means of a brick dome B. This vault A is composed of a cement liner 1, a cement outer wall 2 and a galvanized iron container 3 interposed between the liner 1 and the outer wall 2. Each of these parts 1, 2 and 3 is continued so as to form the bottom of the vault and the container 3 is provided with a neck 4 which extends downwardly throughthe outer wall and is connected to suitable drain tile 5, the drain tile being inserted in the neck 4. The liner 1 is provided with an opening which registers with the neck 4 and the upper portion of this neck is internally threaded for the reception of a galvanized iron pipe 6,

which pipe extends upwardly into the vault an1d7is provided at its upper end with a funne Extending through the cover B is a pipe 8 which is connected to the drain from the house and supplies the vault with the material to be disposed of. i

With this construction it will be obvious that there will be absolutely nov possibility of the fluid leaking from the vault A inasmuch as there is a positive connection between the metallic container 3 and the outlet pipe 6 and furthermore the drain tile is connected directly to the neck 4c which forms a part of the container 3. It will be further seen that when the cement liner 1 and outer wall 2 sets that the leakage from the vault will be doubly prevented.

From the foregoing description it will be seen thatV I have provided a very simple cesspool which will be easy t0 install and which will successfully operate for the purpose intended.

While I have illustrated and described a particular embodiment of my invention, it has merely been for the sake of convenience and I do not wish to be limited to that particular embodiment as it is obvious that numerous changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. In a cesspool, the combination with a vault including a metallic container, a cement liner and a cement outer wall, of an outlet pipe positively connected to the metallic container and vextending into the vault, the container having a neck extending therefrom and through the outer` wall, va cover for the vault and a pipe extending through the cover and into the vault.

2. In a cesspool, the combination with a metallic container having an integral neck' extendin therefrom, of an outlet positively connecte to said neck and extending inwardly into the container, a cement liner within the container contacting with the outlet pipe, a cement outer Wall contacting With the neck, and a pipe extending into the upper end of the container.

3. In a cesspool, the combination with a container including an outwardly extending cover for said container contacting With the outlet pipe and the neck.

In testimony whereof, I aiix my signan ture, in the presence of two Witnesses.
